[quote=Anonymous]I guess I would also try to think long term. Typically, the teachers seem to do a pretty good job of accounting for differences between the kids' abilities in Kindergarten (different levels, reading assignments, etc.) so I wouldn't assume your child will be bored. They also spend time on social development, which is key. But when I say to think long term, look well beyond this first year of "real" school. How mature is he? When he's a teenager, how do you want him to compare to the other kids in his class? How old will he be when you send him off to college? There's a lot to consider, other than whether he's already mastered some Kindergarten skills. I'm certainly not saying he shouldn't go straight to 1st-- just pointing out long-term implications.
